Day 14 – Lake Como

  • Posted on September 15, 2008 at 9:01 pm

Varenna, where we stayed at Eremo Gaudio, is on Lake Como in Lombardy, Italy. The lake is massive and is fed by melting glaciers, rain and springs from the mountains that surround it.

What a way to start a day, waking up to this view! Then coffee and pastries on a patio with more view before a quick train ride to Monza for the Formula 1.

Day 11 – Prague to Zurich

  • Posted on at 1:29 pm

After the Berlin to Prague fiasco, we were ready to leave Prague at 6 am today in anticipation of the 5 hour drive actually being many more. As it turned out, it did take 5 hours to get to Friedrichshafen in Germany, where we left the car and took the ferry over Lake Constance to Romanshorn in Switzerland. We spent an hour in a beautiful harbour front park before taking the one hour train to Zurich.
